1t was O'Clock a. m, and Joe Fogarty,
the keeper Of the Morgue, had Just turned the
key in the lock of his Office door, when an
elderly man and two women crossed the green
extending between the Morgue and Bellevue
hospital The night previous the body of a
well dressed young man had been brought to
the Morgue. 1t was a case of suicide and the
morning papers had long accounts of the
young mans death, which, as well as his per-
sonality, Tero shrouded in mystery.
"Good morning, sir" said one of the
women, wEo was young and progressing.
You have here, l believe, the body of a
young man who killed himself last night in

asked Joe.
YES; We came here for that purpose"
Joe led the way into the wooden shed called
tie dead house, ard lifting the cover from an
ordinary pine box exposed to view the body
Of the young man. The visitor looked at it in
silence for a moment, and then the young
woman said, in the same matterof-fact spne

Shabby Soldiers of the shah-Thieving
officers and Their Plumber.
The Persian soldier, even on state occasions,
presents generally rather ludicrous appear
ance. His uniform is of cotton cloth and
mostly of deep blue color 1t is made of
what VIC call shirting, and when new is very
suitable clothing in a warm country. But
soon the military buttons begin to disappear
and are replaced by substitutes of all sorts,
shapes, colors and sizes. The hair disappears
from the warriors sheepskin shake, which
quickly grows shabby on account of his habit
ually using it as pillow. Moreover, the foot
coverings of no two men in the regiment are
alike, and the whole crew presents melan-
choly appearance.
But yet the Persian soldier does the best he
can. Previous to a review or festal parade
he may be seen carefully preparing a plume
of white feathers, procured from the nearest
domestic fowl, and binding them to piece
of stick. When this martial plume has at
tanned the size of lamp brush he triumph

of official illuminations composite candles are
served out by the local governor at the rate
of one to each man The colonel has, of
course, q greater number of men on his list
than ever make an appearance; he keeps the
difference. The other officers appropriate
half the remaining candles. The non-com-
missioned officers eat Il. e. stean certain
proportion, and at length one candle is served
out TO every five men. This is divided into
five portions, a new wick is inserted. and,
when the regiment is paraded, at given
signal box of matches is passed round, and
the regiment triumphantly presents arms
with lighted candle in each mans musket
as per general order.
The pay of the Persian soldier is nominally
seven tomans tG2 Isl per annum and rations.
He is lucky if be gets half his pay. which does

The very argosies of morning ?.
Bear not from heaven so rich thing.
On Helen's cheek a springtide day,
Fragile and wonderful it lay;
From Helen's cheek these twenty summers
Child lips have kissed the bloom away:
Nay, Time, record it net so fast;
The reign of roses overpast;
All victor pomps Of theirs encircle
A loyal woman TO the last.
So true of speech, of soul SO free,
OF such a mellowed blood is she,

Rounds never 10 q memory.

Up trembling TO adoring eyes,
The sweet mirage of youth and beauty
On Helen's cheek forever lies.
